Tom will always we very very close to my heart.  He was my friend, shooting shot gun coach and encouraged me to handle a dog. Later on he entrusted me to handle his beloved pointers Chica, Birdie and LuLu in our local Fun Trials. I was delighted to do so and thoroughly enjoyed them.  They were bird finding machines.  We have enjoyed many dinners, lunches, parties and endless telephone conversations with Tom and Jan.  It is a privilege to call Tom my friend. Rest in Peace until we walk the prairies again, Your Favorite Dog Handler Darlene and the Little Pants Brittanys

Tom and Jan were like our son Kyle’s adopted Grandparents, they were like family to us.  Of course Tom was always trying to get Kyle to become  Lawyer.  Tom you will be missed in so many ways.

I loved getting to know Tom and Jan when they lived across the street from us on Highland Hills Dr. in Austin. Tom was probably the most colorful person I’ve known and I could listen to his stories for hours. And he could tell them for hours! 
Jan, always gracious, was perhaps the only one who could rein him in. 
I will always have fond memories of Tom and his larger than life character. 
Heartfelt condolences to Jan and Terry.
Love, Sona and Jerry Nast 

I have often thought about writing a book about my experiences growing up in West Texas in Amarillo, our West Hills neighborhood, including all the colorful childhood friends, family, dogs, -and especially featuring two brothers who were the most important men in my life.  The book would have to revolve around duck hunting,  with countless forays into the dark morning, being picked up by one or the other for what then seemed like a long drive toward Oldham or Hereford counties.  The anticipation of great flocks of ducks and geese,  and the wildly colorful conversation were what I lived for then.  I considered myself the luckiest kid alive.  Tom always called me Kid, even until our last conversation. Terry called me Honey, or just Mark.   Tom bought me my first shotgun, -a used single shot Stevens 12 gauge, and he taught me to shoot, drink coffee, and swear with great flair.  He also taught me gun safety with no room for carelessness.  Through both brothers I met some very wonderful people, and being at either home was the best place to be in the world, except for hunting or fishing.  Though they both could be tough on me, and really tough on each other, true affection always came through and I felt they really loved me.  Tom was absolutely one of the best people in my life.  We all love him so very much.  Love and heartfelt condolences to Jan, and to Shari, Terry Eli, and all the family.

Tom, Jan, Terry, Sonny, and family and friends of this fine gentleman.  My condolences, and a huge thank you for all the smiles Tom put on my mug!  Being a Livingston neighbor, it was always fun to see Tom out with his bird dogs.  There was always fun conversation, mostly created by Tom😊 and dogs jumping around in the background.  My favorite memory is getting a call from Jan to help with Tom getting up from a fall.  Tom was on his rear end on the garage floor, he reached up an arm, I grabbed.  But the tug didn't feel right, so I pronounced " I'm getting you by your britches sir".  Up we went.  Tom might have had a wedgie after that, but Jan was all smiles!  Love you Curtis family and friends!

I have known Tom Curtis for many years in Austin but some of my fondest memories were times spent with Tom and Jan at their home on the Yellowstone River in Livingston Montana. 
God bless you Tom and Jan and thank you for your friendship, love, and kindness. 
Sincerely,
Richard and Beth

Tom was a great mentor to me.  As a young lawyer, he hired me to be a prosecutor.  This, despite the fact that I had never tried a case, much less a criminal case.  After trying one case, I found myself trying cases, by myself, in district court.  It was a life changing experience.
He taught me how to be a trial lawyer.  For that and a lifetime of friendship,I can never thank him enough.  
   
  Prayers to his Family.  Bill Bowden

Tom was a great man that has done much for many. He will be missed. 

One of the Best men we ever knew has left this earth.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Jan, and his wonderful son Terry and his family left here, grandkids and friends that will miss him dearly from Montana and Texas.

In Deepest Sympathy,
Rick and Dede Jenkins
